LILLE, France: Several migrants died overnight Saturday to Sunday while trying to cross the Channel from France to England, French regional authorities said, less than two weeks after the deadliest such disaster this year.
“Several migrants lost their lives,” the Pas-de-Calais prefecture said, without specifying the number of victims.
The incident comes more than a week after 12 people, including six children and a pregnant woman, died when a boat carrying dozens of migrants sank off the French coast.
The incident on 3 September was the deadliest loss of life in the Channel this year.
